Mediation & Arbitration for Aviation-Related Insurance Disputes

Resolving aviation insurance disputes with clarity, precision, and industry insight.

When accidents, losses, or liability events occur in aviation, insurance disputes can quickly become complex and costly. Aircraft owners, charter operators, flight schools, and insurers all face high-stakes consequences—especially when claims involve FAA regulations, airworthiness issues, or coverage exclusions.

Alireza Alivandivafa is a seasoned neutral with 17+ years of legal experience and an FAA-certified private pilot. He understands the regulatory, operational, and legal dimensions of aviation—and brings this depth to mediation and arbitration of aviation insurance claims.

Why ADR for Aviation Insurance Disputes?

  • Private & Confidential – Protect reputations, loss histories, and safety records from public exposure

  • Industry Expertise – Navigate disputes with someone who understands airworthiness, flight operations, and aviation law

  • Faster Resolution – Avoid lengthy litigation, FAA entanglement, or trial delays

Why Aviation Insurance Disputes Are Different

➡ Regulatory Overlay: Claims often implicate FARs, logbook compliance, and FAA investigations

➡ Technical Complexity: Issues like maintenance tracking, pilot endorsements, and airworthiness status matter

➡ Operational Realities: Flight schools, charter companies, and dry lease operators face complex structures not always reflected in the policy

➡ Reputational Risk: Insureds and insurers alike need private, reputation-preserving resolution
